lord OF Tucson, that Lyons swindled B.
M. Jacobs, also of Tucson, out of S175
by giving Jacobs check that was sent 10
! Waco and not cashGd. An officer is on
the way here from Tucson after Lyons.
The latter saws the charge is utterly base
!, So, and he Can disprove II. Lyons has
plenty of friends who are disposed to
sand bv him. He will prcbahIyasapply,
ply tomorrow tor t. habGas corpus hears
ing, having no desire TO go back to Al
IONA. *
LATEE-Mr. Lyons has satisfactorily
explained the matter, showing he mad
right to the check, and had good reason
to believe the money would be paid. He
has deposited tbs amount of money
claimed to the credit Of the Tucson party

doubt, end the trouble.
